Arrrrgh. I used to love YouTube, but apparently they had to kill me -- or my account, anyway. In what has got to be the most sweeping case of a company's cutting off its nose to spite its face, YouTube has disabled the accounts of several bloggers that I know of (including the amazing Rich from fourfour) for posting copyrighted material. As Rich so astutely points out, copyrighted material is why people go to YouTube in the first damn place!
Damn. I'll have to see what Flavor of Love and I Love New York videos I managed to save onto my external hard drive, then find a safer place to put them. This well and truly sucks, and the only silver lining I can find is the near certainty that YouTube has shot itself in the foot by removing its main reason for existence.
I can't wait for when YouTube gets rid of all the videos people use on myspace. Nothing but drama.
